Processional Hymn

Glory and Praise to Our God Schutte

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20 Brothers and sisters: The body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body; God raised the Lord and will also raise us by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with Him. Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

First Reading 1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19 Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was. The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, “Here I am.” Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am. You called me.” “I did not call you,” Eli said. “Go back to sleep.” So he went back to sleep. Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli. “Here I am,“ he said. “You called me.” But Eli answered, “I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep.” At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD, because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet. The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time. Getting up and going to Eli, he said, “Here I am. You called me.” Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth. So he said to Samuel, “Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply, Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.” When Samuel went to sleep in his place, the LORD came and revealed his presence, calling out as before, “Samuel, Samuel!” Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.” Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him, not permitting any word of his to be without effect.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Preparation of the Gifts Here I Am, Lord Schutte

Gospel John 1:35-42 John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi”—which translated means Teacher—"where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with Him that day. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah”—which is translated Christ. Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas”—which is translated Peter. Homily Profession of Faith Universal Prayer

Gracious Lord, we pray for all the members of Your holy Church, that all may abide in You and You in them, that they may be one

in Your love and bear much fruit. We also pray for the world, that all may come to believe in Your love for them by the fruit of our witness. We know that our divisions are a source of scandal to Your world, and we know that in love we are called to unite as

one in the vine and branches. The vine is our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son. We are meant to be His branches. Help us we pray, to love, to forgive, to seek justice, and to be Your prophetic voice in the world. May Your grace effect growth of good fruit among us, that our world may realize peace. We ask all this in the name of

Jesus, Your Son and in the power of the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever. Amen.
